It is an 1890s house. If you like old houses this is for you. The bathroom was new but done in a Victorian style. Easy walk to old town on the waterfront with fun shops and 5 or 6 restaurants

I really liked my stay here yes the place is super old but it’s like an awesome vintage vibe. The kitties on the property are super sweet. The lady that hosted was super nice and informative. The coffee place up the road was super awesome. Thank you so very much Karla was so nice. I will definitely miss all the cats 😭

SHOULD BE CONDEMNED! DO NOT STAY HERE!

DO NOT STAY HERE! I read mixed reviews and lesson learned definitely look at the dates of the reviews. The picture is from a long time ago because it certainly doesn't look like this now. Everything is overgrown & it looks like it should be in a horror film. The steps to enter the home are not safe at all- there were holes going through so you couldn't step in certain areas. The stairs inside weren't much better- going up they were filthy. This place had not been cleaned in ages. The bottom floor is cordoned off with a filthy sheet and there was a terrible smell coming from the whole place that they were trying to cover up by cooking something in a small crockpot at the top of the stairs. My room had flies circling everywhere and at one time was probably a great place to stay but honestly this should not be listed as any sort of hotel at all as it seemed more like a health hazard. I have stayed at many rustic places but this one takes the cake. I went somewhere else and when I asked for my money back since I had just booked that morning I was told that was highly unlikely. So save yourself the trouble and do not even bother with this place.

Overall we’d recommend this place as an affordable place to lay your head in a really beautiful town. Others have mentioned that it’s an old house, and with that comes character and sometimes things you’re not used to. If old houses are your bag, this will suit you just fine.

It was conveniently located to downtown. Room was functional. Patio sitting quiet. The host was friendly and informative. There was no soap, shampoo and conditioner in the shower. The shower nozzle had to be hand held. And it lacked an extra blanket. A good choice for one night. It was functional.

Where to begin, upon arrival there are no indications saying the Penn Cove, appearance paint was peeling from building, step was uneven, opening door was greated with a bed sheet hanging off the wall, what looked like a dead rodent in the corner but was just accumulated dirt, smelled what I thought was smoke but was incense burning, stairs to second floor were carpeted but not vacummed windows in the room had a gap in them unable to close, toilet paper was hanging off the wall had no towels or pillow, pillow that was given appeared to have never been washed or cleaned.

Absolutely disgusting

This property should be removed from this site. The rooms advertised are not avaliable except one and it was disgusting. The building is falling apart and rotting. Broken windows. The dust, dirt, mold and mildew were so bad that in less than a minute my eyes and sinuses were blown up in allergic reaction. We were afraid to touch anything. Fixtures falling off the wall in the bathroom. Black mildew on the shower curtain. We fled as soon as we found a room in Oak Harbor. Just grabbed our bags and ran. The place was absolutely disgusting. Pictures are at least a decade old. Fire hazzards everywhere. There is no way the place is up to code. Basically a bait and switch. They shouldn't be allowed to keep our money. The Bates Motel would have been better.

Overpriced and Falsely Advertised

This listing should not even be on this site. It is a single "cottage" rental, so calling it a hotel in any way is incorrect. It's on the same property as the restaurant Phad Thai, and is presumably run by the same woman - who lives in the restaurant next door. As for the cottage itself. The place had 2 beds - not a queen bed and a sofa bed, as advertised. The kitchenette shown in the pictures has next to nothing in it. There was a microwave, fridge, coffee pot, and electric kettle. No dishware is provided, and if you want coffee or tea you must bring your own supplies as none are provided either. There was an iron, but no ironing board in sight. As we were there for a wedding, this was unfortunate since we could've really used one. The bathroom has no latch, so best to be comfortable with anyone you stay with. Calling this a smoke-free property is false. The owner smokes right outside the building and it drifts into the cottage. The place also smells as if it is smoked in regularly. All in all, we had a very uncomfortable night and ended up finding other accommodations for the next evening, despite booking two nights at this location. If you don't mind all of the downsides, it is in a very good location. It is within walking distance to a great pizza place and a coffee shop that is obviously frequented by locals. There are a couple state parks nearby with fantastic hikinh opportunities as well.

They had availability for a last minute booking - so I am appreciative there. The woman that met us to check in was very nice. That is why I was generous with 2 Stars. The room itself was rough. There was a lingering smell - burnt plastic/burnt popcorn/cigarette smoke - that never left. Don't turn on the air purifier, it makes it worse. There was moldy food left in the fridge. The sheets looked clean, we didn't use the comforter. Overall, it served the purpose of needing a place to sleep. It has so much potential - but needs a deep clean, some maintenance, and maybe a little more TLC.

This property is shabby, bizarrely decorated if you could call it that, and dirty. Linens are dirty, shabby, and sparse. There was hair in the refrigerator and in several places in the rooms. Wicker furniture has grime in the grooves. There is a bad smell that I can't quite place - old cigarettes or just long term grime. The carpet is stained. We left after one night only because we had no alternative for the one night we did stay. The employee who greeted us was warm and helpful but the property is just in terrible shape and I'm sure it is not her fault.
